But who cares if it sounds irish? Some of the most common 'native ' surnames in ireland are smith and fitzgerald and they are of british and french origin. And theres thousands of other people with brtish/protestant surnames which became so common in ireland that they're accepted as irish names now. Its a multicultural country.youll fit in here with whatever name you have

For the record, the vast majority of people with the surname Smith in Co. Cavan, the Irish county where Smith is by far most common, are of Irish origin, Mac Gabhann. Likewise with other Smiths in adjoining counties, with the anglicised McGowan being more common as the English version on Cavan's western border, in northeast Connacht/the further one goes from the Pale.

Never heard of it as a surname, and to be honest the only people I know who have it as a first name are Americans.

Several families of Devin in the Dundalk area.

Not that popular to be fair, even at its height it wasn't that common.

But... "Devin Toner exists, therefore Devin is a perfectly popular name"

According to that CSO website, if fewer then 4 people are given a name, it appears as 0 in the charts. That means there's a reasonable chance Devin Toner was the only Devin born in 1986...

Even at its height, of 6 foot 11

Devin's a stupid ****ing name. It's one of those names where you know the person is going to be a ****, just by their name.
